Quote:Bradley is a coach in the vein of Mularkey so far. People are positive about him because he's still new, but in reality he basically replicated Mularkey's performance from 2012. Four wins with two of them coming against a tanking texans team that will be kicking our butts again in 2014 don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, and his staff failed to develop Gabbert.

 

If he were a difference making coach the team would have likely made Gabbert at least appear average and won at least a couple of more games than it did.

 

So while I don't want to come across as accusing him of being a guy that will never be successful it's clear that he's just another coach who will require an elite level QB to carry him instead of the other way around.

 

 Please elaborate. How does Bradley equate to Mularkey in any way, aside from both being the Jaguars' head coach for one ear to this point and failing to develop Gabbert into anything remotely resembling a competent QB?

 

For that matter, name a coach that carried an elite level QB to greatness instead of the other way around.

 

Belicheck and Brady have dominated together for over a decade, but Belicheck's Cleveland tenure was considerably less successful.

 

Cowher won a title with Roethlisberger and coached two Steelers teams to Super Bowls, winning one, but then so did Tomlin.  Roethlisberger is a common QB to both.

 

Mike Shanahan won two Super Bowls with Denver as John Elway as his QB, but has not only not won anything since Elway retired after the 1998 season, he's been fired twice.

 

Bill Parcells arguably never had any elite QBs when he won the Super Bowl with the Giants in 1986 (Phil Simms) and in 1990 (Simms/Hostetler).

 

Gibbs never had elite QBs to elevate either with the Skins.

 

Landry won his Super Bowls with a Hall of Fame QB in Staubach, and did not win it all with a less than HOF passer in Craig Morton.

 

Noll won all 4 of his Super Bowls with Bradshaw-a Hall of Famer, and Walsh won all three of his with Montana.  Who elevated who?
